Mont Sainte-Victoire, which towered over the Aix-en-Provence region of southern France, was one of Cézanne's favorite motifs. He spent his childhood exploring its terrain, and he painted it several dozen times from different vantage points. The mountain also held symbolic meaning to the artist, representing the ancient countryside—the authentic France—during a moment of rapid industrialization and modernization. On the right side of the canvas, one can just make out an ancient Roman aqueduct.
